Abstract:The effects of nitrogen and phosphorus application on the yield of cluster redpepper and its other relevant characteristics have been studied through a two-year test,using saturated D-optimum design.The results show that phosphorus has larger effect on increasing the pepper numbers of a single plant than nitrogen;N and P have the similar effect onthe weight of a single pepper;N has larger effect on increasing the plant height than P;the shoot number decreases with the increase of P application and increases with the increase of N application;the yield responses show a parabola model to either N or P application According to the fertilizer response equation obtained,the suitable N and P
